Small CNC Machined LED Light Housing
Another recent job of ours was to design a light housing for an LED Light. We received in the mail the components from our client and some ideas of what they were looking for.
First job was to draw the components in CAD so we had something to reference from, then we went to work on the housing design. It needed to be water resistant so we had to incorporate an o ring seal so it would prevent water from entering the housing. It also needed to be simple and cost effective. We ended up going with a screw on cap instead of having a grommet hold the lense in place. The grommet would need machining anyhow so though that the small cost difference was well worth having the screw on cap, it would also hold the o ring in more securely.
